Infinite Reincarnation: I am the Monster.

Chapter 260 Konoha's Collapse Ends
"Hey, Konoha, come get someone who can talk!"

Although Bai Cangshu asked someone to find someone with enough prestige, he had already thrown Sarutobi Hiruzen's body at Jiraiya who was fighting off several Pains.

At this time, a large number of Konoha ninjas were all injured and gathered behind Jiraiya.

No matter how unreliable Jiraiya is, he is still a top-level ninja who made his mark as one of the Three Ninjas during the Third Ninja World War. He is one of the few people Konoha can rely on after it has experienced a series of changes.

Jiraiya subconsciously caught the flying corpse, but then stood there in a daze.

He looked at the charred corpse in his hands, but could still make out the stern face of his teacher.

Jiraiya looked up at Orochimaru who was standing dozens of meters away. He was wearing a red cloud and black robe, and was standing with Tao Pai Pai who was mentioned in the intelligence.

"Orochimaru...the teacher is dead..."

Jiraiya's tone was sad. When Orochimaru defected, he had chased Orochimaru for a long time, but was eventually beaten by Orochimaru. The two men, who had fought side by side since their youth, finally parted ways unhappily.

He couldn't understand why Orochimaru insisted on doing those things, and Orochimaru couldn't understand why Jiraiya wanted to stay in the village.

Seeing Jiraiya's sad expression, Orochimaru just smiled coldly, his voice still calm and cold.

"Yeah, it's a shame, the Third Hokage died fighting to protect the village."

There was absolutely no trace of regret in Orochimaru's tone, and these words chilled Jiraiya to the core.

Jiraiya took a deep breath and finally confirmed that Orochimaru was completely the enemy. He stood in front of everyone and looked coldly at Tao Pai Pai and Orochimaru, saying

"At this point, is there anything else to say?!"

Orochimaru walked away two steps, and Tendo Pain, who had not taken much action, walked over. However, the ones that caused the greatest damage to Konoha were undoubtedly the summoning beasts of Animal Path Pain and the missiles and lasers of Shura Path Pain.

The Six Paths of Pain have overwhelming lethality to ordinary ninjas, but the huge summoned beasts that he can summon at will must be dealt with by jonin-level fighters. Ordinary chuunins and even special jonins need cooperation to defeat one, and it is also easy to cause casualties.

The Animal Path Pain can summon dozens of summoned beasts and give them the ability to split. After being defeated, they will split into more summoned beasts.

This ability caused great damage to all of Konoha, and was the reason why Konoha was unable to gather a large number of ninjas to release joint ninjutsu to attack Orochimaru and Momo Paipai.

Moreover, no matter which path of Pain he takes, he possesses the insight of the Rinnegan, and ordinary instant body movement techniques, physical techniques, ninjutsu, and throwing attacks are extremely difficult to be effective.

Although these Six Paths of Pain seem unable to cause effective damage when facing the White Cangjutsu, and can only rely on Heavenly Path Pain's [Ten-sense Ten-in-all], [Shinra Tensei], and [Chibaku Tensei] for attack and defense, but in a battle of this level, every Pain can easily kill a large number of ninjas with physical skills alone.

"We are not prepared to completely destroy Konoha."

In fact, according to Pain's original idea, he was going to completely raze Konoha to the ground so that the world would feel pain.

But Tao Paibai told him that the result of doing so would only be for other ninja villages to unite to deal with Akatsuki, and then the Hidden Cloud Village, the Hidden Sand Village, or the Hidden Iwagakure Village would take over Konoha's position.

Pain did not understand this logic, but he had already understood the core content of what Tao Paibai said, that is, these ninja villages were just completely violent organizations that accepted orders to start wars, initiate plunder, and were supported by the country.

The core of this cycle of interests is not in the Ninja Village.

So he was willing to start the "Fall of Five Countries" plan. He wanted to see the possibility of what Tao Baibai called "long-term stability."

Although, Nagato knew very well that Tao Pai Pai could not be a good person at all, and this guy was a tyrant who completely craved chaos, but Nagato had been trapped in the ninja spiral of hatred for too long, and as long as there was any hope, he was willing to try.

As long as the war can be ended, even if he personally puts a tyrannical king on the throne, there will always be someone to assassinate him.

"Next, we will evacuate Konoha, and you cannot hide the fact that Konoha was attacked by us and is now extremely weak."

Tendou Pain's tone was calm, he was just stating the facts of what would happen next.

"Konoha's ninjas, the war is about to begin. I hope you won't let this war end too soon."

After Pain finished speaking, he began to float into the air. He had one last thing to do. He wanted to completely destroy Konoha's defenses, leaving Konoha with no defenses.

Seeing this scene, Jiraiya felt something was wrong and quickly formed a seal to condense the chakra of the immortal technique. However, the blonde woman standing behind Bai Cangshu said
"I advise you not to do that, Master Jiraiya. Today's situation is already the best solution. No matter what you do now, it will only make Konoha's situation worse."

He walked out from behind Bai Cangshu and others, and Jiraiya was stunned. This woman wearing an Anbu mask had a strong natural energy!
If natural energy of that intensity cannot be harmonized with powerful chakra, the opponent will probably be corroded.

But this woman was not affected at all.

[Heaven's Will] noticed Jiraiya's gaze and opened her arms calmly, and natural energy emanated from her body. She even turned around, and her figure floated slightly as she spun.

Her power is definitely not as weak as others describe her to be.

"Master Jiraiya, the question we should think about now is how to complete the reconstruction of New Konoha in two days under this situation and successfully protect the village from the upcoming attack on the Multi-nin Village."

"us?!"

Uchiha Fugaku questioned coldly. At some point in time, he had indeed regarded this woman as a plan. The other party had many information channels and was mysterious. Both Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo trusted her very much.

And this woman expressed her affirmation of Uchiha. If this woman could come to power, Uchiha's situation would be alleviated. That's what he thought.

But today's incident completely made it impossible for him to see clearly what this woman had been doing.

Faced with the attack of a powerful enemy, the other party betrayed the Third Hokage silently without giving any intelligence warning.

Tianyi chuckled and did not explain. She believed that in the face of the desperate power gap, these ninjas would eventually walk the path they wanted.

When she does things, she is not restricted by any contracts or logic. She just follows the choice of the most perfect timeline, that's all.

At this time, a black-haired Uchiha ninja came from the direction of the Uchiha clan, with blood dripping from the sword in his hand.

Uchiha Fugaku saw his eldest son behind him and Mikoto pulled Sasuke tightly. Sasuke's face was full of tears and he kept shouting for his brother to come back.

But Uchiha Itachi just paused for a moment and walked to Tao Paibai without looking back.

"Danzo has been killed."

Bai Cangshu raised his eyebrows. He did not see Uchiha Itachi bringing Danzo's head. He knew what had happened. In the distance, on the magic carpet floating in the air, Catherine made a gesture.

Bai Cangshu raised his lips, patted the itachi's shoulder, and said
"Very good, I am satisfied with your share of the slaughter."

"The collapse of Konoha ends here. Next... it's time for us to spread the chaos to every piece of land."

Bai Cangshu looked at the Susanoo in the distance and saw that it was unable to attack Uchiha Obito. It was obvious that Uchiha Shisui still hadn't released that [Kotoamatsukami].

He grabbed Uchiha Itachi, turned around and jumped into the air, constantly stepping on the air, and quickly left Konoha with the [Moon Step].

Then, it was Tendo Pain in the sky who released a terrible attack in the direction of Konoha Hokage Rock.

The destructive repulsive force smashed the Hokage Rock into pieces and caused the entire mountain to collapse and retreat backwards, extending all the way into the forest. There was no longer any cover behind Konoha.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

At this time, Kakashi, who looked a little weak, came behind Jiraiya with many ninja leaders including Aburame Shiwei, Akimichi Choza, and Yamanaka Inoichi.

These people had previously dispersed to various places to block the summoning beasts, and used the power of the clan to control the chaos in Konoha.

Behind these people, Asuma Sarutobi, Kurenai Yuhi, Might Guy and other ninjas of the same era as Kakashi gathered together, all covered in wounds.

These people have managed to survive today's catastrophic events.

Asuma Sarutobi stared at the charred corpse in front of Jiraiya and knelt down dejectedly. He could only watch the group of people quickly disappear into the air and he didn't even have the strength to throw a shuriken.
-
"Where the leaves dance, the fire burns..."

"The shadow of fire will illuminate the village, and Konoha will take root and sprout again."
